Question

A leaky faucet is losing water and is filling a 8-gallon bucket every 25 hours.At this rate,how many gallons of water will the faucet leak in 13 hours?

Answer 1

The rate of 8 gallons every 25 hours means that the faucet fills $\frac{8}{25}$ gallons every hour.

Multiply the unit rate for the number of hours you're interested in to find

$\dfrac{8}{25}\cdot 13 = \dfrac{104}{25}$
